So: there aren't really places teaching this stuff, which makes sense, but there's lots of scope to place it into other MA programmes.

A colleague is doing an MA in "work-based-learning" at Middlesex, and he's mainly going to be looking at Web 2.0 things (specifically: the problems of Intellectual Property and UGC), if that helps explain the kind of tangents that might be worth following.

Most people I know doing academic work in this space are doing pure research, and as part of PhD programmes.

Thanks for that... there does seem to be not much going on directly... now it's figuring out which MA to fit it into...

You'd have to apply for such a course online...

Actually, wouldn't the a significant chunk of Web 2.0 stuff be UGC anyway - in which case to you tube and wikipedia with you!

How about MA in Interactive Media: Critical Theory & Practice

"You will engage with conceptual implications in terms of what in networked digital media constitutes memory and virtuality, perception and sensation, affection and reason, space and time, politics and control"

I feel I should say that I find the explanation of what you're meant to do for that course completely opaque.

It's not the clearest, is it?

Regardless, thanks for the link! It's that kind of thing that I'm looking for...
